About Us: What is a Credit Union?

Not for profit, not for charity, but for service.
Credit unions are not-for-profit financial service cooperatives, owned and controlled by their members, and operating in a democratic way.

About APG Federal Credit Union
APG Federal Credit Union’s roots go back to 1938 when a group of local pioneers decided to address the savings and borrowing needs of the military families at the Aberdeen Proving Grounds. Read our Fact Sheet.

Now, with the ability to help all those who live, work, worship, volunteer or go to school in Harford and Cecil counties, as well as parts of Middle River, Maryland, APG Federal Credit Union has become the largest financial cooperative in the area and is able to serve our members and communities as a trusted financial partner.

By sharing our financial experience and providing valuable products and services, we work to build stability and financial independence for our members, one family at a time.
